You into cowboy action shooting? Me neither. But you don’t have to be to appreciate this beauty. Uberti makes plenty of offerings to tote when your spurs go jingle jangle jingle. And Taylors and Co. sells em. No biggie there. But what’s worthy of note are the Ubertis that Taylors’ smithies work on to make them Deluxe. That’s the Smoke Wagon single action six shooter, above, that’s had the full Deluxification job done to it: trigger job, hammer job, polished internals and a new handspring. I played with a standard revolver as well as a Deluxe gun and can tell you that there’s a world of difference in the feel after Taylors has done their thing. And given the level of upgrade, the added cost isn’t bad. A standard Smoke Wagon in .357, .44-40 or .45 LC runs $540. The ‘Deluxed’ model is $640. Yeeeee haaaaaaa!
Unfortunately, I’m in the boat that many people are in who kick themselves for letting guns go that we had.
One of them is my Colt nickle plated Python .357 which I bought new and the other my Ruger Blackhawk .44 magnum, or the original 3 screw Ruger.
So….on 8/14/15, I ordered a Taylors Smoke Wagon 4109DE (deluxe) which is the 4 3/4 inch barrel in .45 Colt. Taylors is hand-picking one out that has the darkest color case hardened colors, which is what I wanted. I should get it next week. I finally get to own another revolver. There is nothing like pulling the hammer back on a SA.
